2. **Phase 2: Provide Best Practices** - Deliver tailored best practices covering network architecture, access control, data protection, malware prevention, monitoring and detection, incident response, physical security, and supply chain risk management.
3. **Phase 3: Recommended Upgrades** - Recommend specific upgrades based on the assessment to address gaps in security best practices.
4. **Phase 4: Roadmap for Network Redesign** - Develop a multi-year roadmap focusing on security and scalability with implementation plans, budget estimates, risk analysis, and success metrics.
Period of Performance
The initial contract term will be for approximately 12 months effective from March 4, 2026 through March 4, 2027.
Place of Performance
The work will be performed at various locations within the City of Corona's jurisdiction as specified in the project scope.
